Did Anyone Notice?

While Arab nationalist newspapers were busy making sure that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon gets all the bad names, not one single Arab country drew the attention to a very important thing that happened in Israel. The Israeli Prime Minister is the technically the highest authority in Israel, however, what happened is that the state did not stumble or turn into a civil war because the prime minister is sick. There is no such thing in Israel that is called the sole politician or ruler. There is a big number of Israeli politicians who may or may not rotate power, however, without affecting the stability of the state. And, simply that's democracy...But of course no interest in such bad ideas as democracy. If this was the case in an Arab country, I won't even start talking about it. Photo by: Reuters

If Mubarak was in critical condition, like Sharon is now, do you think we in Egypt would even know about it???? Probably not. The Egyptian news outlets would report that Mubarak is in a "treatment center" in France, receiving "intensive physical therapy" following "a minor accident the President experienced while playing tennis in Sharm el-Sheikh"......If Mubarek was really sick, I don't think we would ever know the extent of his illness until he was dead!
